Sadie is a 4-year-old Border Collie in Pueblo, CO, who needs $400 for Twice Daily Insulin, Needles, and Checkups.

We got Sadie when she was a puppy from a previous employer. They asked us to watch her for a weekend and she has been with us every since. She is 4 years old and a love. She has a nice size yard to lay in. She loves to eat my flowers when I plant them. She does love to lay on my lap when I'm in my chair.

We have 3 cats. All but 1 cat leaves her alone. Our Taz sometimes clean her up. Sometimes they play together. She loves to play. She loves to go for walks. My daughter takes her for walks up and down the block. She loves to sleep with me and my husband in the middle of the night. Due to her eyesight she can't jump so we have to pick her up and put her on the bed.

She barks at people coming to our house and at the same time goes up to them and says pet me. She loves to sit in the sun. She is very good about asking to go outside to do her business. She is a good dog. Unfortuntely she lost her buddy in February of this her. We had to put down or 15 year old basset hound. It is hard for her to be around other dogs partly due she can't see.

Sadie has diabetes. She has catracts in her eyes. She is blind. They may not go away and don't have the money to take her to a specialist to treat her eyes. We have to give her insulin shots 2 times a day for the rest of her life. She is looking much healther now. Before she had lost her fur and weight. Now her fur is growing back.

My husband is on short term disability due to injury to his left shoulder. Hopefully, he will be going back to work. We have lost a significant amount of income since February 1. We are seeking help for about 4 months to help pay for her insulin and needles.
